I say this all the time lol . No one is perfect , and no one is going to know how to move with you exactly how you expect them to . If something happens that you dont like , say something & allow the person grace to correct it . Y’all so quick to drop folks for minor things
Self isolation + emotional hyper independence . My emotional intensity can be overwhelming for some , and I hate having to rely on people when i’m in full crisis mode — I try to handle it on my own knowing good and well I need a hug and an anchor to ground me 😭
As a habitual overthinker , you gotta sprinkle in a little reassurance for me to “enjoy the ride” . There’s nothing enjoyable about (1) a confusing ride, and (2) a ride we’re not equally pouring into
I am very serious when i say this. Learn how to shut tf up . Yal tend to overthink , overreact , and badger with questions in a investigative way. Sitting back and enjoying the ride will get you so far. This doesn’t mean be a fool, but it does mean chill out .
I’m not sure why people are leaving this detail out — This happened after he originally tried to gain access to EWU (an HBCU) .
You simply cant continue to turn a blind eye to things like this . Gun reform is needed .

- Press conference released her Internet search history
- Video footage from her job, neighbors, & on the interstate do not confirm her story
- A phone call places her at a local hotel/motel while she was “kidnapped”
- Police can not validate the details of her story
Here’s my annual reminder:
Communication isn’t hard, people just make it that way because they believe that people don’t deserve respect or common decency .
Not that I need too. But I would never go on a date or try talking to somebody who is “actively dating multiple people” we too old to be knowingly competing lmao

LOL as an extrovert , I tend to gravitate towards quieter/ introverted men without even knowing it . Part of what I do daily requires me to be extroverted , so a quieter partner helps me to incorporate “peace”/calmness into my day . Plus they’re just so relaxing to be around 😂
This is the type of relationship I strive to have with God —
To be so unwavering in my faith and belief, even when I’m lost in the darkest and deepest valley
Today was my first day back in church after months of living in shaky faith . God welcomed me back with open arms and I just 🥹— His love knows no bounds ❤️

It’s a “pretty good deal” until you realize the demands to get the degree are unsustainable and the payment isn’t livable … hence the nationwide strikes lol
I’m going into 2024 absolutely delusional . I want every goal I pursue to have an outcome greater than I originally imagined .
I’m pursuing any and every goal that may sound unrealistic and overly ambitious, because why not ?? No longer will I be hesitant, God’s got me
Severe depression + professional help
Being at rock bottom & feeling completely alone forced me to do deep introspection about who I was before , how I got there , & who I wanted to become 🤍 . I wouldnt be on this Earth if it werent for the professionals who found & helped me
Reading more, hitting the gym more, prioritizing my mental health, & investing in new hobbies. This season of isolation is blooming me into a woman i’m falling in love with
My goal has always been to go into MND research — ALS, PD, AD, etc. Today’s my first day working on a brand new project focusing on Alzheimer’s Disease 🥹. 14-year-old me would be so proud
The mind-body-spirit connection is real . When one area of the connection is off , symptoms can manifest in other areas (i.e. emotional pain showing up as physical pain) .
This is why it’s important to be mindful of the way you treat others & to check on your people
My coworker died in his sleep, from a heartbreak we’re all going to miss him very much. Heartbreak is nothing to play about and people are way too cruel, cold, and dismissive towards people they ones shared a life with!
@NylaMonetttt
Isolation typically lets you just *be* — to think about where you were, where you are, & where you want to go . It’s a time to reflect and bring to God your hearts desires . So long as you have faith & patience, God’ll carry you from the valley to the mountaintop . Love you ❤️
This mentality of “not owing people anything” is insanely selfish and idk when or why it became normalized .
It’s even more concerning that people who want that basic decency are seen as “entitled” … crazy lol
But I digress …

Mental health reimagined — coming soon to iOS and Android devices
I can’t wait to share my progress and launch details 🙂. More information can be found here:
Folks are so upset about what Keith Lee is doing , when us ATL locals have BEEN saying that a lot of these restaurants are trash and care more about aesthetics
than quality service lol
I prayed to find a new therapist that could help me mentally, emotionally, and spiritually . 4 sessions later and I can confirm that God sent me the therapist I’ve spent years looking for 🥹🙏🏽
At UCLA, the admin did a survey of the graduate students asking what career they wanted.
All first year students wanted to be faculty, and less than 10% of 6th years wanted to be faculty.
Why do you think people's aspirations change as they advance through a PhD?
Europe is the perfect example of this — high speed train systems that make travel between countries significantly smoother & cheaper . The problem has and always will be America prioritizing $$$ over convenience and ease
We desperately need high speed trains up and down the East Coast. Especially in the Northeast. There is a demand for it. They simply need to build it, because driving is a pain and flying is a waste of money for short distances.
When a situation arises with someone I care about , I’ve always heard them out and tried to see if a solution can be found . We’re all flawed & you never know what could have been going on at that time .
Moral of the story — people deserve grace 🤍
This is meeeee 😭. I’m not bad at writing, I just strongly dislike it and it feels like such a chore .
I have to force myself to write knowing that I have to write an entire thesis to graduate lol
You know what’s wild. I knew very early on in life that I did not enjoy writing. Math and science have always been my suits but definitely not writing.
Why in the Reese’s peanut butter fuck did I go to grad school for a PhD????!?!!! Wtf was I thinking??
A lot of people want to be in a certain position in life before being open to a relationship , but EYE think that’s dumb .
As long as you both are working towards building/ reaching goals and you like each other , what’s really holding you back ?
My girl tells me she’s not in the best mood and doesn’t wanna talk or have company, I don’t immediately make it about me or her not liking me anymore. Now flip this… lmao
Shows like The Ultimatum confuse me. If:
- 1 wants kids, but the other doesnt
- 1 doesnt believe in or wants to get married, but the other does
Then what are you doing ?? Differences like this dont make sense *to me* , and certainly cant be fixed with an ultimatum
I’ve always said that no one is perfect — ppl will always be flawed . But if 2 ppl are (1) working on themself and (2) working towards goals that can still be achieved in a romantic relationship , then go for it lol .
Whether it works out is a different story , but at least try
My previous PI was exactly like this + misogynistic & subtly racist .
Praise God for getting me out of that environment , because faculty leadership tried to gaslight me into thinking I was the problem when he had a known reputation

why I hate academia
subtle red flags to watch out for as a PhD student PART 2:
• lab members don't eat lunch
• lab members don't do conferences
• lack of scheduled meetings
• vague funding situation
• PI is busy with the company they run
• PI doesn't take time off
• PI rambles a lot
Or or or .. I have boundaries and don’t let the demands of toxic academic “culture” consume my life . I’m getting a PhD and I will not stress myself out in the process 😂
If you're not panicking about your research, deadlines, or the meaning of life itself at least once a week, you're either a superhuman or you're not on Twitter enough.
